Read a file in a server and create mail

Hi experts,
I have a csv file in an AL11 BW server as following:
I would like to add some abap instructions into a BW abap to program to read the second line of this file and then create a dynamic address mail with the number or name present in the second line in this format name [email protected] .
So in my case that will be [email protected]
Is that possible?
Thanks
Amine

if i want to recover the id from the itab in a workarea in order to build a mail. Should i do this?
READ TABLE <ITAB> INDEX 1 into workarea1.
Concatenate workarea1 ; @gmail.com into workarea2
Yes it'right, the table ITAB should have all values from a record (in your case the second one) of the file:
SPLIT <STRING> AT ';' INTO TABLE <ITAB>
this comand move the data of a single record of CSV (so with ; as separator) in a internal table, every record of this table will be a information of the CSV record.
In your case the ID mail should be the first information of the second line, so your code is ok
Hello;
Your file is corrupted, can you review it please?
Is the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 relevant to my case?
Yes you're right, something like this should work:
DATA: doc_data LIKE sodocchgi1.
DATA: reclist      LIKE somlreci1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: packing_list LIKE sopcklsti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: tb_text      TYPE soli       OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE..
doc_data-obj_name = 'MYMSG'.
doc_data-obj_descr = 'CSV file'.
doc_data-sensitivty = 'P'.
doc_data-priority   = '1'.
* Receiver
reclist-receiver = workarea2.    "ID mail
reclist-rec_type = 'U'.                "Receiver is a mail address
reclist-express = 'X'.
APPEND reclist.
* Object list
*packing_list-head_start = 1.
*packing_list-doc_type   = 'RAW'.
*APPEND packing_list.
tb_text-line = 'Hello'.
APPEND tb_text.
tb_text-line = 'Your file is corrupted, can you review it please?'.
APPEND tb_text.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
   EXPORTING
     document_data = doc_data
     put_in_outbox = 'X'
     commit_work    = 'X'
   TABLES
*   OBJECT_HEADER = packing_list
     object_content = tb_text
     receivers      = reclist.
But the fm places the message in the queue of mails to be sent
The mailing is managed by program RSCONN01, this program can be called in your program or scheduled in a job

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Reading XML file from application server and put into internal table-4.6C

Dear All,
Is there any way of reading XML file from application server to SAP? I am using 4.6C. Function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module is not available. Please suggest.
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Hi Atanu!
Simply use the XSLT transformation 'ID'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_result> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA lref_data TYPE (your_structure).
ASSIGN lref_data->* TO <ls_result>.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML xmlstr
RESULT result = <ls_result>.
"xmlstr" contains your XML file. Just read it into it via standard I/O operations. "<ls_result>" will contain your DDIC formatted content.
Best regards
Torsten

Read the file on application server and Z table as Link in ALV report.

Hi ,
I need some suggession on following requirement.
I need to develop an ALV report where, I have to display 6 column. Four rows are kind of data which i am getting from some tables. But other two column are link to Excel files. So following are the two cases
Case 1: One of these column has a link, and when you select this link , an Excel file gets open and this Excel file is stored in Application server.
Case 2: The other column, will have a link and after selecting the link, an Excel file gets open but this time the Excel file is coming from a Z table( Stored as File name..file type and File content).
Please give some light on these two cases.
Regards
PG

Hi PG,
If I understood you have to handle some different links.
Well,
you can try to do this:
1- when you fill the fieldcat structure you have to add --> fieldcat-hotspot = 'X', for each column you want to handle like hotspot.
2- manage the method hotspot_click of class cl_event_receiver where you can handle your different excel files.
Let me know,
bye

FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

Hi All,
We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.

Error while reading excel file from application server into internal table.

Hi experts,
My requirement is to read an excel file from application server into internal table.
Hence I have created an excel file fm_test_excel.xls in desktop and uploaded to app server using CG3Z tcode (as BIN file type).
Now in my program I have used :
OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
DO.
READ DATASET v_filename INTO wa_tab.
The statement OPEN DATASET works fine but I get a dump (conversion code page error) at READ DATASET statement.
Error details:
A character set conversion is not possible.
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'Y_READ_FILE' had to be terminated as the conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
be converted), is 445. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
conversion error occurs.
Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
'4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
name was '/usr/sap/read_files/fm_test_excel.xls'. (further information about
the file: "X 549 16896rw-rw----201105170908082011051707480320110517074803")
Also let me know whether this is the proper way of reading excel file from app server, if not please suggest an alternative .
Regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to use OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY mode encoding default. instead of OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
As I think you are uploading the file in BIN format to Application server and trying to open text file.

Not recognizing # while reading the file from application server

Hi
I am reading a file from application server. While reading into internal table with read statement the last field in each record is filling with hash symbol in the last digit. If I write any if condition with HASH symbol its not going inside the if condition, means its not recognizing as hash may be its internally treating as some other. I need to remove the hash from that field. How I can do that.
Thanks,
kishore

I faced exact situation. Yes, internally its treated as some other special character. What i did was, becuase hash symbol was always coming at the end...i created a dummy field in my internal table so that it will not interfere with my actual data. When i see the data in my internal table, the hash always falls in the last field (dummy) which i will ignore. I could not get solution to remove this hash so i adopted this approach and it worked!!
Hope it helps,

Search multiple folders for files with same name and create single file

I have a project where I need to search multiple folders for a file name and when found append data from each file to a single input file.
Example
root folder to start search
\\servera\sales
\\servera\it\salesa\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesb\cmmstr.txt
\\servera\it\salesc\cmmstr.txt
I need to create a a single cmmstr.txt on the root folder. I would like it to be able to run this with parms to pass in folders to search and file names to search and single file name to create. I'm going to have a least 10 differnt files to
search for and create output file for. The folders to search
will somewhat be static.
Thanks.

I tested this out on my own seat and I think it should work for you. I wrote it as a function, all you have to do is pass the root folders you want to search and the file your looking for. The function will then search that directory and all sub directories
for that file name. you will also have to provide it a file to append to, if the file dosen't exists the function will create it. If you run into an issues let me know and the links Mike
Laughlin posted are a great resource.
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations, $SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\Server1\c$\Temp", "\\Server1\c$\Test1" -SearchFor "Install.cmd" -AppendTo "C:\Temp\Search.log"

can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Reading XML File from application server

Hi experts,
My aim is to read a XML file from application server and extract the relevant data from it and process further.
When I am trying to read a XML file from application server it is reading success fully but the problem is that its not reading the last root structure of XML file why is so happening can any body help me?
I am using the following code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF xml_line,
text(256) type x,
END OF xml_line.
DATA: e_file LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE 'applcatin server path'
OPEN DATASET e_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET e_file INTO wa_item1-text.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND wa_item1 TO gt_item1 .
      CLEAR wa_item1.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET e_file.
after this i am passing this internal table to "cl_ixml" class to extract the data
but it returning the itab with required value except the last record.
The stream reading the file it self is i thought in complete thats why it is not converting the all values.
Please help me...
Thanks a ton in advance.

Hi,
1 Copy Report BCCIIXMLT1
2 (you can change the way of filling internal table xml_table if necessary)
3 you don't need the part between
*-- render the DOM back into an output stream/internal table
and
*-- print the whole DOM tree as a list...
Comment it out or simply delete it
4 Rename form print_node to your liking e.g. process_node
5 In your new form you need three extra variables:
data: attribs type ref to IF_IXML_NAMED_NODE_MAP,
      attrib_node type ref to IF_IXML_NODE,
      attrib_value type string.
6 After the lines:
when if_ixml_node=>co_node_element.
string = pNode->get_name( ).
Insert:
attribs = pNode->get_attributes( ).
clear attrib_value.
case string.
when ''. "put your XML tag name here
    attrib_node = attribs->get_named_item(name = '' ). "put your XML attribute name here
    attrib_value = attrib_node->get_value( ).

Applet can't read local file on web server, security issue!

There is any way to read/write files of web server through the applet except the Signed Applet.
If any idea the reply me soon.
Thanks in advance

Applets are downloaded from web servers and execute on the client machine.
Therefore they have no access to the web server file system, signed or not.
They could have access to the client file system (the machine where they run),
but for security reasons only signed applets have this privilege.
So to answer your question, you sign if you want to access client files.
To access web server files, you don't need to sign the applet, but you need
to provide some method of accessing files remotely, for instance:
- Files published for the web can be read using HTTP
- Files can be read or writen with the help of an FTP server on the same machine as the web server
- A servlet running on the HTTP server can collaborate with your applet to exchange files
